Hogwarts, where the stars shine

A foot of snow slowed Mesa's progress. He drew his wand and danced it in an intricate pattern, steam rising from the tip.He pointed his wand at the ground, and the snow began to melt and evaporate.

With the help of handy magic, Mesa quickly clears a route back to the castle.

When Mesa hurried back to the castle, dinner time had not yet ended, the auditorium was full of people, and the noisy chatter could be heard in the foyer.

As soon as Mesa walked in, the auditorium suddenly became silent, countless eyes were cast on Mesa, and then everyone suddenly started talking loudly again.But everyone still glanced at Mesa from time to time.

Although a Slytherin student had been attacked and was lying in the snow near the greenhouse, Mesa did not scream in panic, making everyone aware of another attack on the school.

This approach will only cause greater panic among students and bring more unnecessary trouble.Mesa didn't want to make matters worse, and he didn't want the school to close.

Under the probing eyes of the students, Mesa quickly walked to the teacher's seat and walked next to Snape.

Snape gave Mesa a strange look, which meant: If you can't tell me why, I will let you brew the potion in the cauldron next time.

Although Snape's greasy hair could easily cause physical discomfort, Mesa still whispered in the Potions Professor's ear: "Professor, a Slytherin girl was attacked in the snow near the greenhouse." Ge is guarding her."

Upon hearing this, Snape stood up and walked towards Dumbledore without any hesitation.Snape knew that Mesa would not joke about such a thing, and he was not a joker.

Mesa didn't hear what Snape said to Dumbledore.While the Potions Master and the Headmaster were whispering, Mesa had already walked out of the Great Hall and was standing in the foyer waiting.

After a while, Dumbledore, Snape and Professor Mikkelsen walked out of the auditorium together.

Dumbledore led the way towards the outside of the castle and asked, "Mr. Black, tell me the specific situation you learned."

"I was walking near the greenhouse when I suddenly heard a girl's scream," Mesa said. "I ran over immediately, but I didn't see anything except the girl who was attacked. Oh yes, those triangular eyes. The symbol of shape appears again.”

Dumbledore looked at Mesa, then at Snape.The fact that there were special symbols left at the crime scene was indeed leaked by Snape.

"Is it this symbol again?" Professor Mikkelsen said, "Is this man a madman? What does he want to do? Does he believe in the legend of the three brothers, or does he plan to imitate Grindelwald?"

It would not be surprising at all that Professor Mikkelsen knew this. It would be really surprising if he knew nothing!John Mikkelsen not only served as a senior official in the Ministry of Magic, but also conspired for coups.

A group of four people quickly arrived at the scene of the incident. Hagrid, who was holding a crossbow, was alert to the surroundings to protect the girl who was attacked.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Hagrid shouted roughly, "Here, the girl is here!"

Seeing Principal Dumbledore, Hagrid, who was definitely over ten feet tall, acted like an oversized baby.

The girl who was attacked was right in front of them, but Dumbledore did not let everyone get close to the poor girl. Instead, he observed the symbols on the snow from a distance.Similar to Mesa's idea, Dumbledore also felt that this symbol was like a sacrifice.

The moonlight was very good tonight, and the visibility was excellent. Even though he only glanced at it from a distance, Snape could still recognize the girl.

"Undine Adjani, sixth grade Slytherin House." Snape said, "A very ordinary student, nothing worthy of special attention."

"After you heard the scream, you ran over immediately. How long did it take?" Mikkelsen asked, "Also, what happened to Hagrid after you saw this Miss Adjani?" Did you come in time?"

"Emmm... From the time I heard the screams to the time Hagrid arrived, it shouldn't have been more than 5 minutes." Mesa said. He couldn't give the specific time. He was not a humanoid self-propelled pocket watch, so he could only provide an approximate time. time.

Professor Mikkelsen nodded. He did not speak anymore, but walked around the place where the incident occurred.

While Mikkelsen was wandering around, Dumbledore removed the attacked Adjani from the symbol on the snow.

"Hagrid, please take this child to the school hospital." Dumbledore said. "Poppy will be waiting for you at the school hospital." After saying that, Dumbledore handed the girl to Hagrid.

The enthusiastic gamekeeper took off his moleskin coat, then wrapped Adjani in the moleskin coat and left with her in his arms.

"Attacked the students, set up the venue, and then disappeared into the open field." Dumbledore said slowly, "It only took less than 5 minutes... and no unnecessary traces were left... "

This is where Mesa feels things are unclear.In such a short time to commit the crime, as the first person to discover the crime scene, I was likely to be regarded as a thief shouting to catch the thief.

Mesa asked Hagrid to stay and ran back to the castle to report to the professor to show that he had no time to destroy the scene.The suspicion on his body is cleared every time, and Mesa doesn't want to take the blame for another year.

It's just that Mesa was thinking too much. None of the three professors present, including Hagrid who had left, had any doubts about Mesa.

The biggest problem with Mesa was not his presence at the scene of the crime, but why he had to go for a walk near the greenhouse when everyone was dining in the auditorium.

"Why did he choose this place?" Snape said. "This is very different from the place he chose last time."

The place where Belinda was attacked was in the castle, in a corridor near Gryffindor Tower.The Gryffindors who returned to the common room had a high probability of spotting Belinda and noticed the symbol left on the scene.

Tonight's location is a little more remote than last time.If Mesa and Hagrid hadn't happened to be nearby, Undina Adjani might not have been discovered until much later.

If there is another heavy snowfall tonight, it will be even harder to be discovered.Both Adjani and the symbol will be wiped away by the heavy snow.

According to the inference from the first attack on Belinda, the perpetrator hoped that someone would discover his "work" and become aware of the Deathly Hallows symbols left at the scene.However, the location of the second attack on Adjani contradicted the first attack.

Suddenly, Snape thought of a possibility. He looked at Mesa aside and asked, "Have you offended anyone recently, or has anyone approached you intentionally or unintentionally?"

Dumbledore also looked over, and he also thought of this possibility.

The perpetrator knew that Mesa (Haig) was nearby, so he deliberately made Adjani scream to lure Mesa (Haig) to the crime scene to see his "work."

"Uh...Professor, don't you know that I have offended everyone?" Mesa said.

From the first day he joined Slytherin House, Mesa offended fellow students.Although the relationship between the two parties has now eased, the original problem has not been resolved.

"You'd better think carefully about your answer before answering my question," Snape said. "I don't often have such patience."

Severus Snape was not one to spoil children, and he knew that Mesa knew what he was asking.

"Professor, there is no such person as you are talking about." Mesa said, "If I have to say it, I seem to have offended Robert Hilliard recently. Just after Belinda was attacked."

Hearing his answer from Mesa again, Snape's face instantly turned uglier than eating a dead fly.If Dumbledore hadn't been here, the Potions Master would have torn Mesa into pieces.

Mesa, who was very happy for a while, didn't know that he was about to be in disaster.

He turned to Dumbledore, who was frowning in thought, and asked: "Professor Dumbledore, do the Deathly Hallows really exist?"

Dumbledore glanced in surprise, as if he was surprised that Mesa knew the legend of the Deathly Hallows.Even those who have read "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", most regard "The Legend of the Three Brothers" as a bedtime story.

Dumbledore thought for a while, and then said: "It exists, and it does not exist. The legend is just a legend, and it is very different from reality."

An ambiguous answer, and the Riddler gets out of Hogwarts!Of course, Mesa did not have the courage to shout this sentence. If he had dared to shout this sentence in person, he would not have hesitated just now because of Adjani's attack.

At this time, Mikkelsen, who had made a big circle, came back.He looked at Dumbledore and said seriously: "Rubeus Hagrid."
